One does NOT want to get silicone on any wood that is going to be

A classic approach is paste floor wax, e.g., Butcher's.

Try a woodworking newsgroup.



"Sheet metal surfaces"

Not wood. Which does not rust in any case.

You put the silicone on the steel table (the only unpainted surface on a
woodworking machine), then push wood across the table and you have
silicone on the wood.
